The 11th-seeded Nebraska basketball team will make its first appearance in the NCAA Tournament since 1998 on Friday, when the Huskers take on No. 6 Baylor in the West Regional beginning at 12:40 p.m. ET.

Nebraska will look to become the fourth Big Ten team to advance to the third round.

The Big Ten went 3-1 in Thursday's second round of the NCAA Tournament, with Wisconsin overwhelming American, Michigan State upending Delaware and Michigan defeating Wofford. Ohio State dropped a heartbreaking one-point decision versus Dayton.

Three Big Ten hockey standouts were named finalists for major awards today. Goalkeepers Adam Wilcox of Minnesota and Joel Rumpel of Wisconsin were finalists for the Mike Richter Award and Hobey Baker Award. Ohio State forward Ryan Dzingel was also named a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award.

The Mike Richter Award honors the best goalkeeper in college hockey, while the Hobey Baker Award is given annually to the top collegiate player. The winners will be announced at the 2014 NCAA Men's Frozen Four in Philadelphia.

Michigan's John Beilein was named a finalist for the Naismith Men's Coach of the Year Award on Thursday. Beilein guided the Wolverines to their first outright Big Ten Championship since 1986.

After the departure of NBA first-round selections Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway Jr., as well as losing preseason All-American Mitch McGary to injury prior to the outset of Big Ten play, Beilein led the Wolverines their fifth season with 20 or more wins.

After securing the conference title, Michigan earned its first No. 1 seed at the Big Ten Tournament and reached the championship game at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The Wolverines also secured a No. 2 seed in the 2014 NCAA Tournament.

During the Big Ten season, Michigan recorded wins over three straight top-10 opponents for the first time in school history with its victories at No. 3/3 Wisconsin, against No. 10/10 Iowa and at No. 3/3 Michigan State.

Illinois advanced in the NIT and Penn State marched on after a first-round win in the CIT, but Iowa dropped a hard-fought decision in the NCAA Tournament, falling to Tennessee in overtime in Dayton, Ohio.
